FOR OUR YOUNG FOLKS.
EARN AND EAT.

Oh, once there was little boy,
Who dearly loved to shirlt,
Because he wns lazy lad,
And hated all hard work.
One day his mother bnde him churn
While she was gone TO town;
But soon as she was out OF sight
He flung the dasher down.
"It's churning, churning, twice week."
He groaned dcspairingly;
Il wish there were no cows! wish
The churn wns In the sea!
" wish the butter'd churn itself;
wish"-and then he sighed
"The old wood.box would fill ITSELF"
And then he almost cried.
''It's, Bub, do this and 'Bub, do that
All day, oh, deur!" groaned he.
TITS ull boy should do to eat
And grow, II seems to me.
II wish"-nnd he was wishing still
All foolish things, when, 10!
There stood his mother IN the door
How could she hurry SO.
" s'pose the buffers come" she said,
His face began to burn,
And he began TO fidget when
HeNaw her ut the chuyn.
She lifted up the lid, and then
"You lazy boy!" she said,
II ought to whip you, but won't;
I'll punish you instead
"By giving you dry bread to eat
Until you're glad to earn
The butter that you like so well
BY working ut the churn,"
Now he was pleased to think that he
Could easily get rid
or churning, II he went without
The butter for his bread.
But by and by he hungry grew,
And begged "piccc to eat;'
She cut slice OF bread. Alas!
He missed the butter sweet.
At dinner-time dry brend again
The butter looked so nice.
"Oh, dear!" thought he, ~ wish had
A tttie for my Slice"
At supper-time 1t really seemed
On dry bread he must choke;
His mother smiled. But, ah. to him
1t seemed sorry Joke.
Next morning, very meel,ly, he
Unto his mother said: -
''I'll churn today" "And earn" said she,
"The butter for your bread.
II felt quite sure my plan would work;
hope from this youll learn
This lesson: What he would enjoy,
A boy must help 70 earn"
A boy-or man-should be ashamed
To make himself shir1s;
To earn share in life's good things,
just do your share Of work"

Death OF Alex. Mitchell.

New YORK, April 1o.-Alexander Mitchell,
president Of the Chicago, Milwaukee l. st. Paul
railroad, died at 2:SO o'clock this afternoon at
the Hoffman house, where he has been STOP
ping for the past two weeks. The immediate
cause Of his death was the failure of action Of
the heart. Since December he had been STOP
ping with his wife at Alexandria Villa, near
Jacksonville. Fla. When be came to this city
with his old friend, Rev. DR.. Keene, of Mil
waukee, two weeks ago, lie was enjoying un-
usually good health. For some time he has
been somewhat troubled from the impede cd &C.
ton Of his heart. Last Wednesday evening be
went out and afterwards had a chill. He
caught severe cold which developed inta
bronchial pneumonia and, no doubt, directly
affected the hearts action and caused death.
The remains have boon embalmed and will be
taken to Milwaukee in bis private car, leaving
the Grand Central depot about p. IN. to-mor
row and arriving at it, destination at 2:30 p
N. on Friday.

E. S. SEYMOUR, County Clerk.
An Important Decision.

jamestown Capital: In the case of Wallace
and Martin against Stutsnan county Judge
Francis rendered judgement for the plaintiff
for the sum demanded In the complaint. This
case was brought to recover from this county
money paid for certificates of tax sales OF
Northern Pacific lands which were decided
void by the court because given for the sale Of
these lands before they became taxable. The
judgement is for about $S5, 900, about double
the original amount invested. The plaintiffs
were represented by Dodge & Camp and John
s. Watson and the county by Rodrick Rose,
district attorney, and was submitted upon an
agreed statement of facts. II the county
chooses to appeal the appeal can be heard by
the supreme court at Yankton next month
when and where similar case from Cass county
will be heard, Inasmuch as thirty per
cent interest is demanded in this action,
both parties agreed that it was better for all
concerned to have the case decided one way or
the other as soon as possible.

COoperstown Dots.

From the COoperstOWn Courier.
Mr.. WILDER Wood, OF Hope, is expected to
arrive here to-day and will return with Mrs.
W., elect, 80 says 10 Jimeson.
DR.. Newell received the following telegram
from Mrs. Newell Tuesday, concerning Rev.
F. NJ. Rockwell; 'Frauk died Saturday. Fu-
neral at Geneva, Tuesday," Mr.. Rockwell
died at the state insane asylum at Kankakee,
I'll. He had been violently insane for some
months prior to death. He was well known
here and beloved by his former parishoners.
The Hope branch is going north, as usual
this spring. The road always moves with the
snow. Twoyears ago We commenced to dump
material at the end of the track, and there
must be considerable Of it now-tin cans, ma
nure, dead cats, and sich. The road has gone
far enough. With Hope at one end of the line
and jim Hill at the other, it is all right as it is.
In answer to letter Of inquiry from Flint,
Mich, the Courier recommends Griggs, Steele
and Barnes counties to all eastern parties de-
string to settle and grow up with tue country.
The reasons are: These counties are neither
subject to the heavy overfows so destructive
in the Red river flats, nor the drouths of the
'Cotaaus" of the James and Missouri rivers.
The crops never fail; small grains are cer-
tainty-cattls thrive in the timber without
shelter-railroad communications are not
problematical. but the roads are built, and all
stations established. Land titles are settled,
and very small sum Of money will lay the
foundation for fortune in the rise of land
itself. These counties are new and offer ex-
traordinary inducements to settlers, and yet
they are civilized with churches, schools, ETC.
What is known east as ''the west" never
before offered such inducements

FARGO, April IT, "A dispatch from Fergus
Falls states that the surveyors of the Minneap-
oils & Pacific, running to Fargo, have CON-
pletcd their work from Elbow lake almost to
Fergus Falls and grading will at once COM

It is claimed that part Of the surveyors will
start tomorrow to survey a line from Wahpeton
to Fargo on the eastsido of the BED river, and
the road will be built at once, forming part of a
through line from Aberdeen to Fargo. This
will eventually be part OF a north and south
line between Fargo, Watertown, Sioux Falls

Sp0rkA' Action Reversed,

Iu January, 1855, Commissioner Sparks sus-
pended all the surveying contracts which Sur
veyor General Taylor had let for surveys in the
Turtle mountain region, on the ground that
the Turtle Mountain band Of Indians, num-
bering 260. laid Claim to 10000, 600 acres of
land in that section. General Taylor has re-
eeived notification that Secretary Lamar has
overruled Sparks action and ordered him to
approve the contracts which he suspended.
Sparks is also directed to transmit the plats of
former surveys to the respective land Offices,
thus throwing the surveyed lands open 10 set
tlement. Gen. Taylor has sent word to tha
deputies to 60 ahead with their contracts and
complete them as soon as possible. This news
will cause great rejoicing in the Devils Lake
country, where whole townships as Gen. Tay-
lor states, are taken up and are occupied by
settlers who know nothing Of their boundary

TERRITORIAL sLEAN1Nas.

The New Rockford Transcript is now an
eight column folio. We are pleased to note
this evidence Of prosperity on the part Of our
contemporary.
Fargo Argus: Deputy Secretary Of the Ter
rltory Wilson gives an item Of news which
will interest the hunters; he says the new
game law permits the shooting Of ducks, geese
and brant in the spring until May Is.
The verdict Of the coroners jury in the Ma
niece case is that the woman was murdered
and the house afterward fired, but that the
evidence does not point directly to the mur-
derer. No arrest has ret been made.
The Sauborn Enterprise states that the new
law rates on the Northern Pacific have raised
the freight on coal there $1.95 ton and on
dry wood $l.S7. It has been claimed that
there was no raise in the wood rate, which is
very important.
Fargo Argus: Judge West, secretary Of
the railroad commission, has the CasseltGn
connection between the Northern Pacific and
Manitoba on his hands again, and is at work at
1t in an endeavor TO bring order out Of chaos
or something Of that kind.
T. L. Parrant, man apparently fifty years
Of age, recently became resident Of Bowdle,
emigrating from lie Beau, WaIworth county.
His wife appeared before the Walworth county
authorities and swore out warrant for his
arrest charging him with criminal intercourse
with his own daughter.

Quired age who live where there are school
children. The restriction ia evidently intended
as an encouragement to the production Of ju-

hotel at Arvilla, the Hersey house, claimed to
be the bsst in North Dakota will be removed

a favorite point for commercial men.
Preliminary steps for the organization Of the
Rod River Valley trotting circuit have been

The Bond Case.

The Pease bond case Is ondei. This stalking
skeleton is buried, let us trust, beyond the l,ops
OF resurrection. The anxiety and agitation
which its existence produced will now subside,
aud those who were harrassed by its presence
can again turn to peaceful business pursuits.
To the bondsmen it has been threatening
blow; aud to the county perpetual expense
to hold tho club sloft that signitied its power.
Like whirlpool nothing could remain at rest
around it, and any dollar that came within its
clrclinC eddies was swallowed aud gone.
Happily a compromise has been effected.
The county commissioners and county attor-
ney, by petitions and other methods Of express
sion, became satisfied that the prevailing
h eaHes
Of a settlement. After considerable dellbera-
ton they finally agreed at their session last
night to accept the sum Of $l1,500 in full
satisfaction Of the judgment. Mr.. Oppagard
favored holding out for tho $4,000, but the
other members Of the board thought it better
to accept $500 less than this amount, rather
than to renew legal proceedings. The follow
Ing payments and securities for payment
were made and given, after which the board
ordered the judgment to be satisfied on the
record, and further prosecution dropped. The
cash payments were E. 81. Kiser $500, D. L.
Siegfried $500, P. F. Sherwood $500, A. y.
Maris $500, WIN. Halliday $175, G Booth $175,
V. ]. Y. Shaw $50, H. Root 800. The se-
cured payments were j. Russell two notes of
$1,000 each, payable at six and eighteen
months, j. Farmhouse five notes of $500 each,
payable one each year for five years, Herbert
Root two notes Of 5000 each, payable in one
and two years. All notes given worc satis-
factorily endorsed by number OF responsible
parties.
There will be those who will not approve Of
the settlement, but when they inquire into
what has been done In behalf of the county,
and that it was impossible to see whore moro
could be gained by continuing the expensive
fight thcy, too, must admit that, considering
the cost and chances, it is better settled.-TuI-

Railroad Chatter.

Casseton Blizzard: The general road master
of the st. p, NJ. d NJ. Ry was in town yester-
day, aud conveyed the pleasant information
to us that work will be bagun on the new de-
pot Oh the 18th of next month. The location
will be somewhere near the intersection of 9TH
avenue aud srd street. at the same time
work will he hegun on the track from here to
Ripon, and from Hope to Rugby Junction,
west OF Devils Lake. The main line, then, is
evidently intended to run via Casselton, Ripou,
Hope und Rugby and thence to the Pacific.
Nelson County News: There ia rulnor afloat
that the contract has been let for the extension
Of the Hope branch Of the Manitoba road from
Hope to Rugby Junction. II such should prove
to be the fact, the probabilities ara that the
extension would just touch Nelson county,
pass through the center of town 149 range 81.
Incannection with this we 1.zass say that should
the Hope branch move forward it is probable
4 that tho GCoaperstown line would push nerth
4 in some direction, III which event 1t wou be-
hoove our citizens to use every effort to induce
the Northern Pacific folks to make theil
junction with the Manitoba line at this point
l
would inure more largely to our benefit than
any Other ono thing that could happen this
season. This should be looked to.
Larimore Pioneer: There are strong rumors
Of railroad shops at Larimore, which, while
not confirmed, may ba looked upon as proba-
BILE. Any division headquarters usually means
shops, and as Superintendent Jenks' division
ls the largest and requires the most work Of
any on tho entire Manitoba system it would
seem that here is the most urgent need for
shops. It will probably be known soon, and
the confident expectation is that before the
summer expires Larimore will be booming.
Extensive shops here would mean in time sev-
eral hundred men, most Of them with families,
which would doubtless be but a nucleus for
additions that would make this one Of the best
towns in the Red river valley.

A werd about "booms." Just now the wave
Of prosperity is beginning to be felt in Dakota.
The advance in prices is due to no fictitious
condition of affairs. 1t 10 the legitimate out
growth Of more people, broadening interests,
new lines Of communications, and the hundred

developement Of an advancing civilization.
A permanent and secure growth Is better by
far than spasmodic improvement the effect
of unhealthy excitement Prices should be
kept reasonable. II town is attracting at
tsntion to-day, keep it before the public by

moderation in prices. What We want in Da-

Fargo on Monday voted on the adoption Of
the new charter passed by the last legislature.
This makes many changes in the city govern
ment The mayor is given more power as
chairman Of the board Of aldermen, and has
the dcciding vote in case of tie; has exclusive
control Of the city police, and generally has
more responsibility and power than formerly.
The same is true of the alderman and the
indications are that the city will be better gov
erned in consequence Of the adoption Of this
ch ,rter. Hereafter two thirds Of the liquor
license fund will 60 to tho city for general
purposes instead of all to the county, as here
tofore. Fines will go to the general fund in-
stead of the school fund. The mayor holds
office for two years under the new charter.
The city funds have enough in them to insure
fair improvements around the city without
issuing additional bonds, except for sewer pur-
poses, and these were voted two years ago,
and only part of them issaed.

Navfgable Electric Balloon.

Successful experiments have been made at
Metz with nayigable balloon propslled by an
electric motor. Tho balloon is the invention of
German engineer named Welker, who for
some time was employed in America, where
he perfected his discovery. The German gov
ernment has bought the invention, paying
$1,000 and like sum to be paid in install

Of "a railroad train and it may be stopped and

residents Of Metz are now nightly startled by
